Celebrated my 30th birthday by going 3-0 (6-0) at @labyrinthdc's "Trick or Treat" semi-chaos draft: random packs of VOW, MOM, and WOE. https://t.co/COsFPds1eG The treat was 🏆ing with my favorite color pair. The trick was being on the draw all 6 games.

Really sad that all store championships going forward will be standard. These have been the best place for me to play paper limited at a higher level. I'm ending my run 7-for-8 in top-8s (including game days). Despite never taking one down, I'm very proud of my record!

Oh I was also wearing my Lords of Limited T-shirt for good luck, so extra thanks to @mistermetronome and @lordtupperware.

Deck won some games on tempo, and some on attrition. Almost like a midrange deck for that axis, depending on whether I wanted to race or trade. Mana curve is a state of mind. Eriette was the sideboard MVP with both Apple and Whisper winning post-board games.

https://t.co/hJNURukA0d Not sure UB was the optimal build for this pool, but I've had the most practice with the deck and I felt comfortable piloting it.

That's another Store Championship top-8 down (4-1, 3rd place) with UB faeries. Also the promo prizes got damaged in transit, so the top 8 received extra prize support in the back 👀

Thanks to everyone who came to our WoE Championship! Congratulations to @BenS_MTG on being crowned Labyrinth Champion! Congrats to our other top eight finishers: William Mountfield, Richard Roberts, Jack Gebbia, Robin Gieseking, Erik Derai Weidner, Ian Lindsey, and Alex Caple!

I'm thinking of attending the local WOE sealed RCQ. I have a lot to tighten up in paper play, especially if I wanna play at comp REL. But I've Top 8'ed 7/8 sealed store championships, and I think it's time to give it a shot.

Match 4: 1-2 against RBw. Massive punt game 2 telling my opponent to mill with Palantir even though in my head I literally meant draw. Tilted off a little, but rallied back. Match 5: 2-1 against UR spells. Thankfully no Gandalf's Sanctions. Mouths amassed 10+ multiple times.

Match 1: 2-1 against RW, I just went over the top each game. Match 2: 1-2 against UGw. I think I'm generally favored, but had meh draws and couldn't break the scry engine up fast enough. Match 3: 2-1 against UB+Shelob. I think my deck had the more focused late game.

This was only the third time I was able to play LTR in paper, but sincere thanks to @mistermetronome and @lordtupperware. Without LOL, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to pilot a 5/5/5 manabase monstrosity like this.

Overcame the (actual) biggest punt in my magic career to make top 8 at the LTR sealed store championship. We take those! Deck + Sideboard: https://t.co/bi2VqFOyIZ

Forbes must have realized that my apathy towards "crypto" as a shorthand for cryptocurrency was reaching its zenith.

For many, cell phones hold the key to unlocking their lives. From bank accounts and credit cards, to where a person lives and even who their family members are — all that information can often be found on cell phones.

Well it wasn't quite the media exposure I was expecting this week, but it's pretty sweet hearing my name called out on the PFF NFL pod.

I really really can't put into words how meaningful it is to me to see my research on television (and magazines, podcasts, etc.); hopefully this helps get the word out and leads to changes that protect people's privacy!

When I was little, one of my dream jobs was to be an actor because it meant I got to be out in front of people. One time, our local newspaper took a picture of a roller coaster at the same time I happened to be on it, and it was the coolest thing in existence.
